    Schwalbe Smart Sam Plus

    I also run smart Sam plus tyres an I think they roll as well as my big apples and yes they are quiet. I'll not be change them till they need it and that may be quite some time. I may consider the new marathon mtb 29ers next time for the extra bit of protection ( I've had a couple of hawthorn...

    Electric Fat Bike Interest In UK?

    I love the idea of a fat bike but could only see them as a second bike, only if I had some spare money doing nought ;) So far my 29er has gone everywhere I've pointed it so a fat bike would be an expensive novelty.

    cycling partners?

    I've done a couple of Sky rides local to me and I even found a local fellow e-biker. As a tip unless your super fit, don't join a challenging ride as they can hold speeds above our 15.5 mph cutoff. Oh yes and it's free to join http://www.goskyride.com/newcastle These rides will be different each...

    Can electrifying a bike be this easy?

    I used to think there was a tiny bit of drag on my Bosch bikes. But after further unpowered trials, I've decided there is none. As John says, you will always feel the 20kg+ weight of the bike. My thought as well (upto 70% of eachof my rides can be unpowered) that was untill last week. During a...

    Computer Scammers

    I don't get to many of these calls but when I do I just ask them to hold whilst I get the computer owner, in reality I make myself a cupa and then go back to the phone for a chat. Strangely there's no one on the line ?

You want a camera, I want a gun.:mad: Worst thing was, he heard the car but assumed it would pass wide as there was no other sole on the road. I also like to ride quiet lanes, when I here a car I'll check its approach in my mirror...

    Best Ebike mileage.....on ONE battery charge

    70 miles is my best (so far) on my bosch powered Cube. On a good day when I'm thinking about exploreing I tend to ride on low or no power, as the hills get steeper my gears get lower. It's only when I'm in the lower gears the power goes on. There quite a few hills where I'm in first gear and by...
